Putting a toaster oven in the garbage will just mean it sits in a landfill since the plastic and metal parts will not break down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"is-a-toaster-oven-considered-e-waste\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"is-a-toaster-oven-considered-e-waste\"><\/span>Is a Toaster Oven Considered e-Waste?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Older toaster ovens are unlikely to be considered e-waste. However, modern toaster ovens often come with an electronic display that can use materials like lead and cadmium. Therefore, <strong>all toaster ovens sold today are considered e-waste.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"disposing-of-a-toaster-oven\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"disposing-of-a-toaster-oven\"><\/span>Disposing of a Toaster Oven<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Consider the functionality of the toaster when you\u2019re deciding what to do with your old toaster oven.<\/strong> It may be possible to pass it along to someone else for use or repair, or it may need to be recycled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"donate-it\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"donate-it\"><\/span>Donate It&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have upgraded your toaster oven to a new one, you might be wondering what to do with your old toaster oven. <strong>If it is still working properly, the best thing to do is to give it to someone else who can use it.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Check with neighbors, friends, and family members to see if anyone you know needs a working toaster oven. <a href=\"https:\/\/buynothingproject.org\/\" data-lasso-id=\"1564\">Buy Nothing groups<\/a> are another great way to pass on goods that you no longer need.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Consider contacting organizations in your community like shelters or soup kitchens to see if they could make use of your toaster oven.

You\u2019ll also be helping the environment if you\u2019re able to fix your toaster oven.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Contact the store where you purchased your toaster oven to see if they offer repair services.<\/strong> You can also contact the company that manufactured the toaster oven to see if they will repair it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Local companies may also offer repair services for small appliances like toaster ovens.<\/strong> You can also check with friends and family to see if any of them have the skills and knowledge to fix your toaster oven.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"recycle-it\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"recycle-it\"><\/span>Recycle It<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Choosing to recycle your toaster oven can be a great option if you aren\u2019t able to donate it or have it fixed.<\/strong> Instead of your toaster oven sitting in a landfill, recycling it can give new life to some of its parts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Depending on your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.epa.gov\/hwgenerators\/links-hazardous-waste-programs-and-us-state-environmental-agencies\" title=\"local regulations\" data-lasso-id=\"2203\">local regulations<\/a>, you may be able to put your toaster oven with all of your other recyclable materials for pick up.
